Intel Core i5-7600K vs Intel Core i5-8400H

Core i5-7600K vs Core i5-8400H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400H is faster than the Core i5-7600K. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i5-8400H has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7600K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8400H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Core i5-8400H outputs less heat than Core i5-7600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-8400H also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
